Harry Maguire earns a recall in England, according to Manchester United -boss Ruben Amorim.
Thomas Tuchel takes the lead on his first English matches later this month, because the Drie Leeuwen takes on Albania and Latvia respectively.
Maguire, which has been covered 64 times, did not make the cut for Gareth Southgate's Euro 2024 team, although that was at least partly to injury.
The center-back only played once under interim manager Lee Carsley, but is a key figure for Amorim since the Portuguese Erik ten Hag in United replaced.
Maguire played 27 times this season in all competitions for United and has made 88 approvals, which is second among the defenders of the club, after Matthijs de Ligt.
No United Defender has informed as much as the 62 of Maguire, while the 31-year-old has also won the defensive unity of the Red Devils for Aerial Duels (69).
And Amorim thinks Maguire is worth more than a call to Tuchel's first team.
“If it's enough with the national coach, I would be very happy for him, I think he deserves it,” said Amorim.
“He is a great guy, I think he still has to improve, because if you are a player, you can improve every time and improve many things.
“But I think his performances are pretty good at the moment and you feel that he is now more a leader who can help a national team, so I hope he is in the national team in the next games.”

United is in FA Cup campaign against Fulham on Sunday, and although they toil in the lower half of the Premier League, there is still hope that they can save some silverware this season.
“I see a clear path, I also see that from the board,” Amorim said when he was asked about the direction of the club under Ineos, who manages the football activities in Old Trafford.
“They make difficult changes, they are not popular, but they do them because they have a vision. That is clear.
“But in the future we have to show some results – because you can make many changes and if we have no results, people will not feel trust and happy.
“The good thing is that we have a clear path, now it is difficult, but we are doing things to achieve success in the future.”
